Thanks for the input. :)
It's not that I can't afford a new one, for me it's the satisfaction factor of fixing something.
70 bucks for OEM is decent. I found it to be a lot more than that through some GM wholesale suppliers.
I am leery of stuff on Amazon - mostly China junk. Even something labeled as genuine GM could be a ripoff part, made to look genuine.
It is a big pile of work getting the thing out of there - airbag is easy, it's the rest of the stuff that has to come off just to get at the screws holding the switch on.
Grit dog -
"If you’re curious and have time, rip ‘er apart and see what you can figure out. Maybe a Wrigleys gum wrapper and a dab of JB weld can fix it. "
Yeah you're speaking my language!
I'll have a new OEM on hand when I take it apart. If a simple fix I can always return it.
